It’s been a whole year since adopting this little angel baby and I cannot imagine my life without him. Louie has been with me through a lot of life changes and I wouldn’t have it any other way. 🐶💕1️⃣🎉 #furbaby#loveofmylife#oneyear#adoptdontshop

My lil bear is 2 months tomorrow!
He loves being held 24/7 and I love it. 🥰
This means the house is being a little neglected but when I think of him becoming more and more independent and he won’t need me to hold him for much longer, it makes me not stress about keeping it all perfect right now. I can have a perfect house when I’m 50~ 😌
He currently loves sitting, standing up & is mesmerized by the contrast books we have! He’s over 13lbs last time we checked and is running out of clothes. 🐼
To say he is my biggest blessing is such an understatement. 💖

This guy has been working his @$$ off on the van lately. Whether he is under the hood making sure everything is operating smoothly, laying on the cold concrete under the truck cleaning battery connections, or crawling around on the roof patching up rust... he is pouring his big heart into our home.

I sometimes feel like I want to help, but don't know where to start, and don't want to crowd him (you know - the too many cooks in the kitchen kind of thing). For most people, these repairs and maintenance would be extremely frustrating. I doubt that they are any easier for him, but he always keeps his cool, is always open to learning, and is always kind.
.
When I offer to help with what I can do (honestly, he is the mechanic - not me...so usually it's just bringing him food or tightening a bolt here and there), he is always gracious and patient. He is smart. He has a positive demeanor. He is kind. He doesn't dumb things down for me, but he is willing to repeat himself if I don't understand something. I appreciate him so much.
.
The repairs and maintenance will continue, and if everything is ever perfect, he would still find something to work on I am sure.

This picture will always remind me of how he took care of the van, and us, on this trip.
